2 Serving the people of Los Angeles since 1905 History of Plaza Community Services In 1905, Plaza Community Center was created on historic Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles. Plaza was founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church to provide leadership training, educational and social programs, medical services, and recreational activities to the Los Angeles community. In addition to these services, Plaza has provided legal, housing, and labor advocacy for over one hundred years, ensuring that Los Angeles residents are treated equitably in their personal and professional lives. In 1954, Plaza moved from downtown to the Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles communities, where it continues its services today. Plaza currently serves clients at five separate locations. We have five separate programs including: Early Childhood Education consisting of two centers each with a preschool and kindergarten; Family Services, a holistic family strengthening approach; Esperanza, Plaza s substance abuse treatment program specializing in perinatal care; Mental Health Counseling, which services youth and adults alike; and Plaza Youth Services; a full-service program dedicated to the youth of Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles. On July 28, 2007, Plaza Community Center changed its name to Plaza Community Services. The Board of Directors of Plaza was compelled to make this change as it reflects the broad spectrum of services that Plaza provides and the large geographic range in which Plaza operates. The Board and Staff of Plaza Community Services are excited to continue providing preeminent service delivery and advocacy to those who are in need. Fathers In the Classroom- Just Stop By!
